THE BOOK - XXL EDITION
Since the age of seventeen, Artist Jimmy Nelson has been travelling the globe, creating stately and
striking images of indigenous cultures. In 2010, he started working on the project that would make
his name, a photography book titled Before They Pass Away.

In this Limited Edition XXL book, Before They Pass Away becomes a true work of art. Printed in the
enormous size of 42 x 59 cm, and bursting with so much colour and soul, each of the 464 pages in this
book will leave you dazed, as you look at these peoples.

By using one of the finest printing techniques, 112 printing sheets with the sections gathered
manually, and the cover printed in offset on cloth and glued on wood panels, with handmade leather
head & tail bands, this book ceases to be an industrial product butresembles an object of art.

To forge this remarkable project, Jimmy Nelson travelled for three years and photographed more
than 35 indigenous communities around the world with a traditional 8x4 plate camera. He travelled
across Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and the South Pacific, at times taking weeks to find and
urn the trust of these cultures.

Join Jimmy Nelson on an odyssey that takes him to some of the planet’s most beautiful places, to the
edge of what we know, and back again. Follow him into the startling wilderness of New Guinea to
connect with the Huli and Kalam, trek along the vast plains of Mongolia to the Tsaatan, and visit the
formidable Mursi people of the Omo River valley in southern Ethiopia.

Most importantly, join us in the discussion concerning these vibrant, thriving but sometimes fragile
cultures. We hope this book will be a catalyst for a meaningful discussion about the need for diversity,
the beauty of culture and the shaping of ourfutures.

COLLECTORS EDITION XXL is a limited edition of 17 hand-signed and numbered copies offered in
a sumptuous clamshell box (460 x 630 mm)

The art prints are not part of the auction.
